Notes
'Sea Holly' blue eryngo (Eryngium planum 'Sea Holly') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and rock gardens. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms in early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The clumping plant handles drought and salt well.
Pairs well with Ornamental onion, Feather reed grass, Clary sage, and Creeping thyme.
